PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) – Washington's first true road trip as a member of the Big Ten Conference ended in a 21-18 loss on Friday night at Rutgers.

UW cut it to three with 1:40 left on Will Rogers's 12-yard touchdown pass to Denzel Boston and a 2-point conversion pass to Keleki Latu. The Huskies got the ball back with 35 seconds left, but a 55-yard field goal attempt was no good.

Washington had a 521-299 advantage in total yards. Rogers was 26 of 36 for 306 yards and two TDs. He entered the game as the leading active FBS quarterback in career passing attempts, completions and completion percentage and second in passing yards and TDs.

Rutgers took a 21-10 lead on Samuel Brown V's 37-yard touchdown run up the middle with 10:57 left.

The Huskies had cut it to 14-10 on Rogers' 51-yard TD pass to Boston down the right sideline with 4:23 left in the third.

Boston finished the game with 125 yards and a pair of scores.

Running back Jonah Coleman ran 16 times for 148 yards for his third 100-yard game of the season.

Washington returns home for a CFP National Championship Game rematch next Saturday. The Huskies will host Michigan at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium at 4:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased via SeatGeek.
